Considering private treatment for pterygium? At GoPrivate.com, we have over 20 years' experience matching patients with private ophthalmic surgeons, hospitals and clinics.

Pterygium is a benign growth of tissue on the conjunctiva, the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye. This condition is typically treated by an ophthalmologist, a specialist in eye care. Pterygium can develop due to prolonged exposure to UV light, wind, and dust, and if left untreated, it may lead to discomfort, vision impairment, or astigmatism as the growth progresses and distorts the cornea.

For an initial consultation regarding pterygium, you can expect fees in the range of £200 to £300. The costs for any subsequent surgery or treatment can vary significantly based on the hospital, location, and complexity of the case.

Whether you need diagnosis, monitoring, or surgical removal, of a pterygium, we have options to compare profiles, do your research or get on the Fast Track to treatment.
